Am I misremembering that RIP also added a very boring download step? Like if you play LORD for the first time you have to download a bunch of images that get cached locally. Then the sysop updates to a minor version and you have to download some of the new art. I thought it was all too slow (both downloading and drawing menus) and the RIP art I saw was mostly very underwhelming, in particular compared to ANSI art.
